Ghana Update

Hey everybody,
I know these entries are few and far between but I'm here to update you on the latest events. I began teaching english last tuesday at the Anani International School. It was unbelievable. I had a great time. One girl, Mia, from my religion class told me about it. She said it would be a great experience and it definitely was. The students were amazing; their ages range from 4-11 i think. Everyone there is taught to speak english and french. I really loved the amount of discipline they showed too. Mia and I went to 3 different classes and taught for the afternoon. The school is located in the middle of a housing division (by that I mean in an alley). It's hard to describe but it's true. I'm having a lot of trouble getting pictures loaded here but when I do, I'll show everybody.

Also, everybody probably knows that I'm hooked on the jazz club "Jazz Tones". They had a Soul Food dinner on tues. to celebrate black history month. Let me tell you what we had:

• Baked Chicken
• Pork Chops
• Talapia
• Ribs
• Cornbread Stuffing
• Ghanaian "Greens"
• Salad
• Rice
• Black-Eyed Peas
• Carrot Cake
• Strawberry Cheesecake

So basically, they had everything I've been missing for the past 2 months. I'll faithfully admit it now that I ate them out of a house and a home(lol). On the real, it was really good.

I went back on wed. for their student night. The NYU students hosted it and they performed poetry and hip-hop. I was feelin it. I'll go back but I don't think I'm gonna perform. I really haven't been feelin it lately. Anyway folks, I've got class in a few so I'll catch up with you all later.
